Aimee Mann hails from Richmond, Virginia, and is a folk-rock and rock singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter. After high school, she relocated to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music, but left to perform with The Young Shakes, a punk band.
In 1983, Mann founded ‘Til Tuesday, a new wave band, along with boyfriend Michael Hausman. The outfit dropped three studio albums, beginning with “Voices Carry” in 1985. The title track earned the band the MTV Video Music Award for “Best New Artist.” They dropped “Welcome Home“ in 1986, and “Everything’s Different Now,” in 1988.
In 1990, Mann left to go solo, and released her debut album “Whatever” in 1993. Both this album and the following, 1995’s “I’m with Stupid,” enjoyed critical acclaim but only moderate commercial success. Things changed in 2000 when Mann was nominated for an Oscar for her contributions to the film “Magnolia.” After several more albums, Mann left the spotlight, but returned in 2012 with “Charmer,” and followed it with 2017’s “Mental Illness,” which won a Grammy, and “Queens of the Summer Hotel” in 2021.
A review says:
“She’s indefinable, and her band was more than up for the challenge to keep up.”
Aimee Mann will be at Memorial Hall in Cincinnati on February 28. When events like this are scheduled, organizers will often promote them by using poster printing to create advertising.
